Everyone’s missing the real story here. Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses need human data annotators to train the AI. When you say “Hey Meta” and ask the glasses to analyze something, that video gets sent to Meta’s servers, then routed to Sama, a subcontractor in Nairobi, Kenya. Workers there manually label objects in your footage. They see everything you recorded, intentionally or not. 7 million pairs sold in 2025 alone. Every single pair generates training data that flows through human eyes in Kenya. Workers told Swedish journalists they see people undressing, using bathrooms, having sex, and accidentally filming bank card details. One worker said “we see everything, from living rooms to naked bodies.” Meta’s automatic face anonymization is supposed to protect people in the footage. Workers say it fails in certain lighting. Faces that should be blurred are sometimes fully visible. The person you recorded without knowing? A stranger in Nairobi can identify them. Buried in Meta’s terms of service is one sentence doing enormous legal work: the company reserves the right to conduct “manual (human) review” of your AI interactions. That’s the legal cover for routing intimate footage from Western homes to a $2/hour labor force operating under NDAs, office surveillance cameras, and a strict no-questions policy. Workers say if you raise concerns about what you’re seeing, you’re fired. This is the same company, Sama, that TIME exposed in 2023 for paying Kenyan workers $2/hour to label graphic content for OpenAI while being billed at $12.50/hour per worker. Workers described the experience as torture. Sama ended that contract, then pivoted to labeling Meta’s glasses footage. Same workforce. Same rates. Meta markets these glasses as “designed with your privacy in mind.” The privacy design is a tiny LED light on the frame that most people don’t notice. The data pipeline behind it routes your bedroom footage to a contractor with a documented history of worker exploitation, failed anonymization, and union-busting lawsuits. And the next generation of these glasses? Meta is planning to add facial recognition. The same system that can’t reliably blur faces in training data wants to start identifying them on purpose. The LED light on the frame is doing about as much for your privacy as the terms of service nobody reads.

JUNE 2028. The S&P is down 38% from its highs. Unemployment just printed 10.2%. Private credit is unraveling. Prime mortgages are cracking. AI didn’t disappoint. It exceeded every expectation. What happened?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic

After following a few leads, we discovered that the hype around the surge in missing girls in Delhi is being pushed through paid promotion. Creating panic for monetary gains won't be tolerated, and we'll take strict action against such individuals.

A Final Message From Scott Adams

The barbaric lynching by Jihadis of a Hindu for merely stating that all Gods are equal, is an ominous warning - no Hindu is safe in Bangladesh. Not one. Dear @narendramodi, future generations will never forgive us if we don't open our gates and save the Hindus of Bangladesh.

The brutal murder of a Hindu man called Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh by a Muslim crowd - for so called blasphemy allegations - proves the unacceptable grave danger of Hindus in Bangladesh (and Pakistan), and the barbarity of Islam. #DipuChandraDas #Bangladesh #StopIslam

An unbearably tragic incident amid the mob rule that is raging across Bangladesh. While mourning the loss of this poor Hindu man at the hands of unspeakable criminals, I appreciate the condemnation issued by the Government of Bangladesh, but must ask them what they are doing to punish the murderers, and what steps they are taking to ensure that such incidents do not recur?

I was returning from Goa on 10th Oct 2025 after celebrating the @purplefestgoa — a festival that honours the freedom, independence & dignity of persons with disabilities. On my @IndiGo6E flight 6E 6264 (Goa–Delhi), my custom wheelchair — built specifically for my spinal cord injury — was returned to me completely bent & unusable. This is not an isolated case. It’s a repeated trauma that thousands of persons with disabilities face when they fly. A wheelchair is not just equipment — it is our mobility, our independence, our dignity. Once its frame is bent, it can never be repaired. If wheelchairs must go into the aircraft belly, airlines must create a dedicated protected section & ensure staff are properly trained and sensitized. I strongly urge Hon’ble Civil Aviation Minister Shri @RamMNK Ji & @MoCA_GoI to intervene, and call upon @IndiGo6E to take urgent corrective action. This issue has been pending for far too long. Safety of assistive devices is mandatory. Somebody’s life & life’s earnings depend on it. @DGCAIndia @Office_of_CCPD @socialpwds #Accessibility #Inclusion #DignityInTravel #CivilAviation #PurpleFestGoa

IMPORTANT: If you know next of kin of those killed or injured in the Air India AI171 crash in the aircraft or on the ground in Ahmedabad, please share this with them. I decided to share this important information as my father was in the insurance industry and I am aware how air accident compensation claims work. 1. HIRE a lawyer who knows aviation or insurance law. 2. DO NOT sign anything the airline or anyone asks you to sign without vetting by your lawyer. 3. Passengers on the flight are covered under the Montreal Convention 1999. Your lawyer should have good knowledge of compensation under this convention. 4. People & property on the ground are covered by the airline's third party insurance policy. Don't go by any PR announcements of compensation being made in media. Air Accident Compensation is a brutal lawyer-led industry. There is no sympathy in their conversations. The insurance lawyers will try to save as much compensation money as possible. See past history of disputes after crashes for reference, search on Google. If there are lawyers who can help victims, tag them in the replies so that next of kin can know.

I am Zakir Hussain nephew and he has not passed away. We ask for prayers for my Uncle's health. Can you please remove this misinformation. He is in a serious condition and we ask for all his fans around the world to pray for his health

I’ve been diagnosed with Cancer and have come to TATA Memorial in Parel, Mumbai for further diagnosis/treatment. Me and my parents are looking for an affordable stay for few months around Parel, Dadar, Worli, etc If anyone can help us out find a decent stay, please connect asap

@waitin4agi_ I lived in an apartment for 4 months and the owner basically never returned the deposit( 3 months rent). There is no easy way to get it! 😞

the biggest scam in bangalore is when you are leaving an apartment and the owner sends you a fraction of the security deposit claiming “damage” or something despite no evidence. I’ve lived in maybe 10 apartments and this illegal retention of deposit has happened every single time

@bairdk She is gonna beat it! Prayers with her and your family!🙏

Brutal reminder that life can change in a moment. We learned on Friday that my wife has colon cancer. The words don't seem real as I write them. She's a picture of perfect health. 41 years old, super fit, eats really well, great labs, no symptoms. Her dad died early from colon cancer, so she chose early screening. Never considered that they could find something. Our kids know they don't have grandfathers because cancer took them both. Explaining to them that their mom has to do what they didn't, and beat the disease, is not easy. They don't understand. I'm going offline for a bit, but have a few asks: 1) Don't wait to get a colonoscopy, especially if you have family history of CC. 2) If you have any resources or doctors to recommend, please send me a DM or email at brkleinsmith (at) gmail (dot) com. We live in Durango, CO but will travel if needed (DEN, DFW, PHX are easy flights, ABQ is an easy drive). 3) If you pray, pray for her. 4) Live it up right now. The future is uncertain. We're trying to figure out the path forward. Already struggling to navigate the medical system. Posting this for 1) screening awareness, and 2) the slight chance someone here can help. Bye for now. ❤️

@elonmusk Everything seems good when taken out of context! And every vile practice can be proved to be a force for good by selectively analyzing information!

Not many people these days know that the British Empire was the driving force behind ending the vast majority of global slavery. Slavery or de facto slavery was standard practice throughout the world from the dawn of civilization until a few hundred years ago. It is even discussed at length in the Bible, for example.
